Patent EP-0799976-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MIKAME KAZUHISA
IPC: F16D3/10
Filed: 1997-04-02
Abstract: A variable valve timing mechanism of an internal combustion engine varies the rotational phase of a driven shaft (15) with respect to a drive shaft (172) to vary the timing of the valve. The mechanism includes a first rotary member (11; 52, 53; 62; 82, 84) for a rotation in synchronism with the drive shaft (172) and a second rotary member (12, 14; 51; 63, 64; 83) for a rotation in synchronism with the driven shaft (15). The second rotary member (12, 14; 51; 63, 64; 83) has a vane. The movement of the vane rotates the second rotary member (12, 14; 51; 63, 64; 83) with respect to the first rotary member (11; 52, 53; 62; 82, 84) to change the rotational phase of the driven shaft (15) with respect to the drive shaft (172). Hydraulic pressure is supplied to one of the first hydraulic chamber (101) and the second hydraulic chamber (102) to move the vane. A lock member (20; 70; 75) locks the second rotary member (12, 14; 51; 63, 64; 83) to the first rotary member (11; 52, 53; 62; 82, 84) to fix the rotational phase of the driven shaft (15) with respect to the drive shaft (172). The lock member (20; 70; 75) is held in a locked position when the engine is not running. The lock member (20; 70; 75) is moved to an unlocked position by the hydraulic pressure when the engine reaches a predetermined running condition. The hydraulic pressure maintains the lock member (20; 70; 75) in the unlocked position.

Abstract: The building component (6) comprises two structural plates (5), at least one of which comprises a basic part, on at least one side of which, knops (3) are arranged in a grid. A second structural plate is applied to it so that between the two plates cross channels (4) are formed. The side surfaces of the knops are arched, or can be arched in a first area facing the basic part and in a second remaining area are straight. The side surfaces of the knops are arched so that the crossing channels at least area-wise, have a round cross-section. The two structural plates are so joined to each other, that the knops are in contact with one another.

Abstract: A water repellent coating composition comprises
fine particle having a functional group on its
surface; a coupling agent containing a functional
group capable of reacting with the functional group
of the fine particle and a water repellent
functional group; a binder resin for binding the
fine particles; and a solvent for the binder. The
coating composition can be used in various fields
including constructions, civil engineering,
transportation, communication. A coating film (11)
or a substrate (10) and coated articles produced
with the water repellent coating composition exhibit
excellent water repellence, antisnow- or antiice-sticking
properties, and weatherability. The method
provides water repellent coating composition which
can form a coating film having an improved light
transmittance due to uniformly dispersed fine
particles.

Inventor: MANABE YUKIO
IPC: B23K26/21
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: The object of this invention is to prevent a defect
which occurs in overhead or vertical welding when gravity
causes molten metal to drip downward so that the top of the
gap (21) has an undercut and the bead has a bulge along the
weld line (i.e., a convex bead is created). 
     During overhead or vertical welding, a unidirectional
current (A) is made to flow in the molten pool (10, 12) in
the direction of the weld line. When the aforesaid current
flows in conjunction with a magnetic field (9), a Lorentz
force (11) is exerted in the molten pool in an upward direction
towards the upper top side of the groove. This prevents
the molten metal from dripping downward and improves the
shape of the bead.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for preparing (-)-norlabdane
oxide from sclareol oxide comprising the steps
of:
   I converting sclareol oxide to 12-acetylnorlabdane oxide
by oxidation with an organic hydroperoxide;   II converting 12-acetylnorlabdane oxide to 12-acetoxy-norlabdane
oxide by oxidation with an organic peracid.  
Step I is preferably performed with tert-butyl
hydroperoxide and step II with peracetic acid. 
     Sclareol oxide may be prepared from sclareol by ozonolysis
followed by treatment with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.
12-Acetoxy-norlabdane oxide is preferably converted to
norlabdane oxide by reduction with NaBH 4  in the presence of
a transition metal salt.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé et une structure qui permettent d'améliorer l'alignement d'un arc plasmique et de la ligne centrale et axiale d'une torche à arc plasmique. Une électrode et/ou une buse sont montées à l'aide d'un élément ressort radial dans des alésages respectifs pratiqués dans un bloc cathodique et dans le corps de la torche. Les alésages sont usinés de manière concentriques le long de la ligne centrale et axiale de la torche, tandis que les composants fusibles sont centrés dans les alésages à l'aide des éléments ressorts. Ainsi, l'insert disposé dans la pointe de l'électrode est aligné axialement avec l'orifice formé dans la pointe de la buse. Il est ainsi possible de réduire sensiblement ou d'éliminer l'usure asymétrique de l'orifice de la buse due à un trajet oblique de l'arc. Cette torche peut être utilisée dans des systèmes de découpe et de marquage commandés par ordinateur afin de produire des composants ou des pièces à usiner comportant moins d'erreurs angulaires et de taille.
